What ꏤ means
In Liangshan Yi, ꏤ means “family.”
In the Nuosu Latin-letter spelling, jiet names this syllable; its final t marks high tone, not a separate consonant.
Proposed evidence for Yi writing reaches the Western Han period, and surviving paper texts date from the late Ming. Bimo, priests in Yi religious traditions, used local forms for religious, medical, historical, and astrological writing. In the 1970s, Liangshan standardization shaped traditional forms into a phonetic syllabary—a writing system with a sign for each syllable—for schools and print; that standard serves Nuosu rather than every Yi variety.
It reads as Nuosu writing, not a general-purpose family reaction.
Outside a Nuosu-reading context, it may be unreadable; use the recipient’s language.

1Why does ꏤ show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
